The Varietal Improvement Program focuses on the improvement of the yield of coconut varieties through the utilization of heterosis among populations of distant origins; improvement of the precocity and dwarfness of local populations; screening and breeding varieties for pest and disease resistance; and widely adaptable coconut genotypes. Selection and development of improved varieties for high value products are given priority to increase farm productivity and profitability. Genomics-based breeding and biotechnology tools are being utilized for coconut improvement, and genetic conservation and use.
